David, what's your plan to progress with this series?

FYI, I object to merging any of my code into btrfs without a proper
copyright notice, and I also need to find some time to remove my
previous significant changes given that the btrfs maintainer
refuses to take the proper and legally required copyright notice.

So don't waste any of your time on this.

Christoph's request is well within the norms for the kernel, given that 
he's making substantial changes to these files.  I talked this over with 
GregKH, who pointed me at:

https://www.linuxfoundation.org/blog/blog/copyright-notices-in-open-source-software-projects

Even if we'd taken up some of the other policies suggested by this doc, 
I'd still defer to preferences of developers who have made significant 
changes.
